Happy December!
Today students completed our osmosis demonstration.  Students saw that water entered the cell through osmosis.  See the picture below.The egg on the left shows what our egg looked like today. 
The egg on the right is how the egg looked before putting it in water.


We also completed a written review for our test Tuesday.  The answer key is below.
Cell Analogy posters due Monday!
